Gate-Tunable Mid-Infrared Electroluminescence via Te/MoS2 p-n Heterojunctions
A new study is turning heads in the mid-infrared electronics community by demonstrating gate-tunable electroluminescence from a tellurium/molybdenum disulfide (Te/MoS₂) p–n heterojunction. Published in Light:...
Multicenter Large Language Model Predicts Acute Kidney Injury and Explains Risk
A new study promises to change how clinicians anticipate acute kidney injury (AKI) before it becomes irreversible damage, using a large language model (LLM) paired...
Emerging Capitalism and Cultural Niche Building in Early Modern Greece
A new study of early modern Greece suggests that capitalism did not arrive as a sudden external shock. Instead, it emerged through a subtle process...
Immunogenicity and Safety of BNT162b2 in Juvenile Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease Patients
A new phase of COVID-19 vaccine evaluation is underway for a group often underrepresented in clinical trials: children and adolescents living with juvenile immune mediated...
PIN1 boosts YAP1 SUMOylation and blocks ferroptosis through autophagy-driven ACSL4 degradation in cervical cancer
In a new study published in Cell Death Discovery, researchers report that the prolyl isomerase PIN1 can tip the balance between survival and death in...
Trisomy 13 and 18 Patient Outcomes in a Center With Perinatal Palliative Care Program
A new study in J Perinatology reports what happens to pregnancies affected by trisomy 13 (T13) or trisomy 18 (T18) when families are supported by...
Hidden Patterns of Urban Mixing Uncovered in Five Global Cities
Cities are often discussed as mosaics of cultures, but a new study suggests their real mixing is far more patterned—and harder to see—than casual observation...
Altered heart-brain communication in awake patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder
A new study in npj Parkinson’s Diseases reports that people with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) show disrupted communication between the heart and brain...
Seed-Assisted Polarity Control Enables Flexible WSe2 Transistors and CMOS Inverter
A team of researchers has unveiled a manufacturing-friendly strategy for controlling the electrical polarity of flexible WSe₂ (tungsten diselenide) transistors—an essential prerequisite for building reliable...
Preoperative Model Predicts In-Hospital Major Cardiovascular Events After Hip Fracture Surgery
A retrospective two-center study published in BMC Geriatrics reports the development and external validation of a preoperative risk prediction model aimed at older adults undergoing...
Scientists Map Lipid-Protein Interactions Using Functional Lipid Probes
Scientists have long suspected that specific lipids influence health and disease not only by acting as structural components, but also by engaging in precise molecular...
Recombinant Interleukin-11 Prolonged Therapy Linked to Cardiac Effects in Severe Thrombocytopenia
In a new retrospective cohort analysis published in BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, researchers report on the cardiac consequences of extended recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) therapy...
Surface Engineering Enables Homotypic Targeting of Extracellular Vesicles
A new study reports a strategy to make extracellular vesicles (EVs) behave less like generic drug carriers and more like precision “mail services” that deliver...
Youth Cut Dietary Emissions as Seniors Drive Rising Overall Greenhouse Gas Growth
Diet-related greenhouse gas emissions are often discussed in terms of national averages or broad food categories. But as populations age and dietary habits shift across...
